An energy storage device refers to a device used to store energy in various forms such as supercapacitors, batteries, and thermal energy storage systems. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliable functioning of microgrids by providing a means to store and release energy as needed.
Energy storage systems are devices capable of carrying out these transformations in an efficient and controlled way, allowing to better manage energy supply and demand nationwide. What is an energy storage system? An energy storage system is a device or set of devices that can store electrical energy and supply it when needed.
By reducing variations in the production of electricity, energy storage devices like batteries and SCs can offer a reliable and high-quality power source . By facilitating improved demand management and adjusting for fluctuations in frequency and voltage on the grid, they also contribute to lower energy costs.
An energy storage system consists of three main components: a control system, which manages the energy flow between the converter and the storage unit.
The use of ESS is crucial for improving system stability, boosting penetration of renewable energy, and conserving energy. Electricity storage systems (ESSs) come in a variety of forms, such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, and electrochemical ones.
The applications of energy storage systems have been reviewed in the last section of this paper including general applications, energy utility applications, renewable energy utilization, buildings and communities, and transportation. Finally, recent developments in energy storage systems and some associated research avenues have been discussed.
